    What happens when Anthropic decides that the free hay time is over, and it's milking time?

    LLMs can and will provide inaccurate answers to questions where data is included in their training sets too, that's in the nature of neural networks. It's just less likely that whe…

    None of the numerous existing human-coded X11 tray icons showing battery charge level is good for you? Why? What are they missing?

    FWIW Back in 2015 OpenCL 2.0 performance was quite good on then-current AMD GPUs (IMO), but the problem was that 1. You had to implement everything yourself, from scratch, since AM…

    Who's gonna pay $20,000 for labor that can be done by anyone with a $200/mo subscription?

    IMHO, it would be solved by just making AI "art" un-copyrightable. Fine, make "AI art" as much as you wish. Sell and buy it as much as you please if you find it to your taste. BUT,…

    As an avid reader of BDs, I would agree with you, but for the purpose of this discussion, and for the general public, these two are indistinguishable. Even to the actual translatio…
